Thekkady Resort

Set in the green folds of Thekkady’s hills at 2nd Mile, Amaravathy, Thekkady Resort offers a relaxing base for exploring one of Kerala’s most beloved wildlife and nature destinations. Here, mornings begin with cool mountain air and the scent of spices drifting in from the plantations that surround the area. The resort is designed for travelers who want comfort after a day in the wild. Spacious rooms come with reliable electricity, free Wi‑Fi, and attentive room service, so you can unwind, upload your travel photos, or simply curl up and enjoy the quiet. A backup generator keeps your stay seamless even during power cuts, while CCTV and on-site parking add a sense of ease for families and road-trippers. The swimming pool is a highlight—perfect for a refreshing dip after a trek through the forest or a long drive up the hills. An in-house restaurant serves local Kerala specialties alongside familiar favorites, so you can sample fragrant curries, fresh appams, and regional snacks without leaving the property. Laundry service is available, especially handy for guests staying multiple nights or returning from jungle walks and boat rides. What makes the resort especially appealing is its proximity to Thekkady’s major attractions. Periyar National Park, one of India’s most famous wildlife reserves, is within easy reach for early-morning boat safaris and guided nature walks. You can spend your day scanning the shores of the lake for elephants, bison, and a remarkable variety of birdlife. Nearby, Elephant Lake offers interactive experiences and gentle elephant encounters, popular with families and first-time visitors to the region. For sweeping panoramas of the Western Ghats, head to Ottakathalamedu View Point, where sunrise and sunset paint the hills in dramatic shades of gold and green. In the evenings, YODHA Cultural Village brings local culture to life with traditional martial arts demonstrations and performances—an engaging way to understand Kerala’s heritage. Back at the resort, the combination of friendly service, practical amenities, and a peaceful hillside location makes it a comfortable retreat after days spent outdoors. Whether you’re here for wildlife, scenic drives, cultural shows, or simply to slow down in the cool mountain climate, Thekkady Resort offers a convenient and welcoming stay close to everything that matters in Thekkady.
